How do you see the difference between a terrorist claiming to be police, and a police officer with a mask and incoherent outfit (ICE)?

  The police there has been instructed to conduct affairs in pairs today, people have been instructed to report any police officers traveling alone/solo. You can also call 911 dispatch to confirm any police at your door is legit.

  > police officer with a mask and incoherent outfit (ICE) Is there an explanation for why ICE agents dress like TACTICOOL SWAT LARPers?
  - matsemann 1y ago
    Yeah, was kinda my point, but wasn't a popular one based on the down votes. But my question is genuine. When you see 5 officers, all in various colors and personal gear, how can you actually know it's not just a gang dressing up? If they would come for me, why shouldn't I fight back with my life if I cannot be assured it's real cops?

      The barrier for making a uniform that looks official is so low idk by this should ever be used as a verification method. But if I were to guess. It’s because I’d a bunch of people rolled up in ICE uniforms it would in some situations make it easy to evade.

Edit - they have the SUV but the not the shooter. Police found him at the second address and exchanged gun fire with him before he escaped on foot.
